- Harry Comtick. son of Joe, has laid
down the stick and abandoned the case,
and taken a position on the railroad that is
considered an essential preliminary to the
part of engineer. In other words, he's
firing ou an engine.
As Mr. Stocktleth was a member of the
Cairo Lodge ot Odd Fellows, of the Hough
and Ready Fire company, and of the Cairo
Casino, it is probable that all of those or
ganizations will turn out und take part in
fie funeral ceremonies.
County Clerk Dan Hogan, the only
county clerk in Illinois, so far as the returns
indicate, who ever reported cash collections
in excess of his salary, was in Cairo yester
day, enjoying that peace of mind that
comes of a clear conscience.
Wc are sorry to bear that Mr. Vf. S.
Lane, of Mounds Junction, continues to fail.
He litis been quite sick during the two
months past; and as he is suffering from an
attack of consumption it is scarcely possi
ble that he'will survive the winter.
A colored man named Harkert, slipped
and full from one of the Cairo and Vincen
ues wharf-boats, about noon, last Friday,
and nil efforts to rescue him were unavail

The unfortunate man was a laborer in the

As intimated in Tiif. Bi ki.ktin about
a week ago, Mrs. LaiiraTisdale, of Chicago,
will visit Cairo next week, to take charge
of a tdass in elocution. The class embraces
representatives of both sexes, both married
and unmarried. Mrs. Tisdale is said to be
an elocutionist of recognized ability.
The Episcopal church has been pre
sented with a handsome carved walnut
cross, two feet high, which is placed upon
the alter in the center of the chancel.
The cross is decorated with the saered let
ters "I. II. S." and a beautiful vine of pas
sion (lowers and leaves, ami is the handi
work of Mrs. II. II. Candee.
The malingers of the Illinois Central
railroad must plead guilty to the charge of
a most sensible and commendable discrim
ination in furnishing tickets to the students
of the Southern Illinois Normal at a rate
and a lil'lh for the lound trip. It is a "streak"
of liberality that ought to permeate all the
railroad managers in the country.
Cairo is very well represented among
the employes of the Anna Insane asylum.
The jolly, fat-sided Fulton, has been an at
tache of the iisyluin from the start, (leorge
llonnard leads the asylum bund; and
('lias. Olmsted, brother of George, fills the

superintendent, is confessedly, the b 'st man

lected, Tlie rumor alloat, to the effect that the
tire that resulted in the destruction of Mr.
Bulfivy's house, had its start from a lire
started in the basement by a couple of
mischievous boys, is declared to he wholly
unfounded. It is not dellneitly known
how the tire originated, hut the most
reasonable conjecture is thut coals fell from
the stove and set tire to the lloor. Mr.
Bah'rey, himself, was not at home.
- Every body who had occasion to take
a whif of outside atmosphere as early as
Ibni4 o'clock yesterday morning, decline
the weather was the coldest they ever felt
in this latitude. Policemen who were
iibr iad, say that the moisture of their
bivatli was condensed and frozen into ice
that settled on their moustaches ami beards
like balls und spangles ot diamonds,
Their beards rattled, under their touch
like tin.1 glass pendants of a chandelier.

-Ed, Piihr, who doles out plain und
mixed liquid to the patrons of the Mer
chants' ilxcliung'', ciiine before 'Squire Hob.
iiisim, yesterday, and pleaded guilty to a
charge of conduct calculated to provoke a
breach ot the peace, in this, to wit: Having
to do with ratlu-r a troublesome customer,
he started him homeward with a push, ex
erting more strength than lie pmhubly In
tend -d to t-xt-rt. The customer, yielding to
the impetus giyen him, plunged headlong
into the snow und ice, and hurt his head
and face. A flue of five dollars und costs
wu imposed upon Pahr, who, after secur
ing its payment, was permitted, as the law
yers suy, "to go hence, without day."
Messrs. derrick and Huberts are still
engaged ut the work of removing our yellow
fever deatl. Last night they continued the
search for the body of Thomas Cook, tlie
exact location of whose grave wus not
known. The first grave opened proved to
be that of Mr. Fitzpatrick. The second
grave opened was that of young Cook
the sou ot Mr. Fit.patiick had orthrfed the
exhumation of his father's bodjylhcre was
no labor lost. Both bodies ywill bo re
buried to-day
It is stated thuVjhe Xmthern Illinois
Insane asylum at AnmHcontains six hun
dred inmates. To properly care for these
und the property ot the institution, requires
the presence of one hundred employes. It
is this asylum is, in slung vernacular,'1 a
big thing," but under the skillful direction
of Dr. Horace Wurdner all its complicated
machinery seems to move along in perfect
harmony, ('apt. Fulton, the jolly oleagin
ous old Cuiroite still bosses thut part of
the machinery that is propelled by steam.
IK aleri in Christmas goods inform us
thut their sales to home customers were
quite as large this year as during any form
er year; but that their sales to outside par
ties were unusually light. But few ship
ments were made in any direction. It was
thought that the September hegira had so
drawn upon the purses of our citizens, that
but little money was left with which to buy
Christinas nick-nacks; but this conclusion
was scarcely authorized. More candies and
confections were sold than at any time be
torc during the fiteen years past.
It was urged upon us yesterday, that
we had unwarrantably used the prefix
'Col." in connection with the name of a
distinguished Missouri gentlemen, here last
Friday evening in response to an invitation
from the Reform club. We plead guilty to
the charge. "We used the prefix knowing
that the gentleman was a Doctor; but he
was a stranger in Cairo, and we didn't want
to let it out on him. If this apology isn't
satisfactory, dissatisfied persons are invit.-d
to call, to look over an assortment, and se
lect one that will be satisfactory.
William Hankins the colored barkeep
er who was shot, Christmas morning, by
the negro desparado Burl Brooks will, if
no unexpected contingency arises, get well.
The ball took effect in the left lobe of the
right lung, and indicted a very dangerous
wound. The wounded man was spitting
up blood yesterday, which is s .id to indi
cate, an ability to kee.i the w.unded part
clean of irritating accumulations, and is
interpreted, therefore, as a g'l sign.
Brooks, who was shot in the upp -r part of
the thi,di. has quit.! a sore leg: but he
doesn't seem to mind it much.

prove too strong to be resisted. The s
of duty might be scjueleln d down; but the
cents that provide one's ( r- atl'.re e.i:nfol.
have seductive inlhiew-sditlif ult for even a
preacher to resist. When he commence to
stir up the Hastiness of St. Louis, we doj't
care to approach a single step ne lr-.-r tlin
we are at present. If he'd pa-s around and
give Paducah a shake or two, we'd ha: a
pestilence j
One of our Cairo friends having locked
in the midst of the romantic hills overdek
ing Dongola, has been infected by his sur
roundings. At all events there are no hills
in thut neighborhood that are loftier than
the name he lias indicted upon his newest
daughter. Here it is; "Vedi Vassa Dido!"
What think our readers of that name, not
for a broad-shouldered, muscular man; but
for a girl baby? We have thought, hither
to, that one element of our higlihiid
friend's mental composition was mercy;
but, as Stephen lilat kpoole was wont to
say: "We do' no, we do' no," so say we.
since the naming of that baby.
The efforts of eight or ten individuals
to make a horse, attached Id a sleigh, on
Sixth street, yesterday, "get up nnd go
along," were decidedly nniusing. Three of
them had whips, the fourth had a rope
around the aiiiinul's front foot, a fifth was
pulling at the bridle, and three or four
were pushing the sleigh, Despite all these
appliances, the stubborn animal wouldn't
"budge." Finally a Crystal saloon man up
peured on the scene, and reproved the men
for fretting the horse. He patted and pet
ted the worried creature into a stute of
placid Amiability, took hold of the bridle,
and with a "now, boy," started the horse off
about three steps backward, where he
was anchored when wn left him, , From the
determination evinced by the iiniinul, wc
shall not be Nurnrised if he is found in the
same tracks this morning.
--"Come, Johnny, nnd bring the boot
jack, It's bully!" Till admonitory and
suggestive sentence wus yelled out by a very
small hoy on the corner of Twelfth ami Pop
lar, in the exp.-ctatlon that another boy,
about tin- size of a ten-pin, standing beyond
the railroad track, would hear mid hud it.
What use such lads could liuve for a boot
jack was a problem wc were unable to an
swer, until pasdng down Poplar we saw
scores of boys sliding down the street side,
dunlin boxes, barrel slaves, dirt shovels,
lap-hoards ami boot-J-u-ks went all In use as
"sliders," the boys stinting on them all
right, but sliding off when about halfway
down the slope, and finishing tha balance
of the trip on their without any interven
tion at nil. If we had been Asmodetis w e
might hnvo seen at leust a dozen mothers
lust night, re-seating a dozen puirs of boys'
breeches. Y'et the sliding was immensely
funny, in truth, according to juvenile vern
acular, "bully."
We dropped in last evening, upon tho
Sunday school folks who were putting the
Hetorm hull in order for the Episcopal
sabbath school festival that came off a
couple of hours later. We found Mrs. Dr.
Smith, Dr. Dillon-Lee, Messrs. Candee &
Winter making themselves useful in giving
the preparations their finishing touches. A
magnificent Christmas tree wus bending
under its wealth of toys, confections, etc.,
und when illuminated was uu object of
beauty to the older folks and of especial
interest to the younger ones. The stereop
ticon was being put in order, nnd,
soon uftcrwurds, under the manipula
tions of Prof. Mercer, delighted the
audience, through its power of causing, by
refraction ami reflection, the superposition
or coalescence of tho virtual images of two
dissimilar perspective pictures, so that the
combined virtual images seem to be a solid
body, nnd a perfect counterpart of the ob
ject, The children pronounced the result
ch-iniiing, most instructive and very engag
ing. Carols were sung by the children, nnd
ut a nasonably curly hour everybody left
for htjine, feeling that the evening had bu n
spentjin a profitable manner.
OBI'fl'ARY NOTICE OF F. 31. STOCK
! FI.F.TII, DKcF.ASED.
Mil F. M. Stocktleth, who died of
para-
lys's, in his home in this city Friday af
temo :i last, was born in Flcnsboitrg, a sea
consuiowii in the northern portion of Den
mark in the month of May, 1837, and was,
thcrdore, Hearing his forty-second birthday.
He emigrated to this country some time be
fore Ihe outbreak of the rebellion, and be
ing In tiie South, entered the Southern
armf. He held the rank of first Lieutenant
amliifterwards that of Captain, and was an
actio participant iu three of the most hotly
co: ested battles that were fought prior to
tin summer of 18U2. Testimony is not
wa ting of his coolness nnd bravery in m.i
nie its of danger, nor of the depth und sin
Cer ly of the convictions for which he bat
tle! In the summer or fall of !;:, he ar
rival in Cairo, a stranger among strangers,
amiMithout means. His gc.-itlemuny ad-dn-Aand
industrious habits soon won him
frieti(. however, and in 1 soj-i he tta, mar
ied ti.Mis, Pohie, with whose father he had,
the yeir pr-vious. formed a business connec
tion tic proved immensely protitabl uV
we'd fMr. Pohh; as to himself. At the end
of a lew years his father-in-law retire-1 from
business and, if we. mistake not. returned
t the oil country, leaving Mr. Stoekih th
sole proprietor i f a well established trade in
the whilesale liquor busin .-. With tin
varyinr success Mr. St.itklh-th pursued that
hu-iiiiss in his own name, until about
a v-rtr ago when Judge Bror-s
took ui interest in the house and (hanged
the I'lsiness title to that of StockhVth and
U;-is, and of this tlrni Mr. S. wa.--, ut the
! tin - of his death, a member.
' .Mr. St'H-krl 'tli wa eminently a social

ref- iit p.-riod, h whs an active and valued
imiuhtr of tli .- Turner si iety. lb; was a
member of the Ritigh and K-ady fire com
pany, and a member of the Grand Lodge
an', Encampment of Odd Fellows, for a
Ion? term of years.
About three years ago he was elected
to the oliiee of City Treasurer over one of
the most p-ipular and unexceptionable gen
tleiie n iu the city. He served t'.e city
faithfully, and upon his retirement from
otlice, his oflicial conduct had b'-en so ex
act und upright that not a breath of sus
pieion was heard in uny quarter. In cverv
station he tilled, in ull the relations of Ins
business and social life, Mr. Stocklh-th was
reeogniz'.il us an honest, frank, courteous,
good natureil and warni-heart.-d man. His
fiiinds were as numerous as bis iiequnin-tan.-es,
for he was one of the few men
wh uu to know was to iike. But
he is now removed from the
midst of the people to whom he wus en
deareil by the strongest of social and
j Iriendly ties, and the places and people
that knew him, shall know him no more.
In the meridian of life he was cut down,
arid it but remains now for his friends and
ji ijr stic brothers to put him away to his quiet
and eternal rest, To the ull'ect innate nnd
accomplished widow, who is left without the
stay and blessing of children, to comfort
lid bless her ill her deep afllicttou, the
people of Cairo extend their warmest syiu
putliy. They appreciate the loss she bus
sustained, und tender to her the only con
solation it is in their power to give,
Capi ion. Do not let your druggist palm
oll'a substitute, when you demand Dr. Bull's
Baby Syrup or you will be disappointed,
'for no medicine for children equals it in
effect.
